Abstract

The list of all the possible Internet host names and aliases for the machine on which LISTSERV is running.

Examples

z/VM:

MYDOMAIN = 'LISTSERV.XYZ.COM WWW.XYZ.COM VM.IGATE.XYZ.COM'

MYDOMAIN = NODE 'WWW.XYZ.COM VM.IGATE.XYZ.COM'

Unix:

MYDOMAIN="LISTSERV.XYZ.COM WWW.XYZ.COM UNIX.IGATE.XYZ.COM"

export MYDOMAIN

MYDOMAIN="$NODE WWW.XYZ.COM UNIX.IGATE.XYZ.COM"

export MYDOMAIN

Windows:

MYDOMAIN=LISTSERV.XYZ.COM WWW.XYZ.COM NT2.IGATE.XYZ.COM

MYDOMAIN=%NODE% WWW.XYZ.COM NT2.IGATE.XYZ.COM

Details

Usually this is the same as NODE, however you can supply additional names if your machine operates several services under different host names. For instance, if your machine operates WWW and FTP servers in addition to LISTSERV, under the hostnames WWW.XYZ.COM and FTP.XYZ.COM, you may want to list these names in MYDOMAIN. Similarly, if you operate the LISTSERV service under a hostname such as LISTSERV.XYZ.COM, while the machine’s real name is NT2.IGATE.XYZ.COM, you will want to list the real name in MYDOMAIN because some unix machines will automatically substitute it for the published name.

WARNING: If you define multiple hostnames in this variable, you MUST define the NODE value FIRST. Otherwise the first hostname you define will show up in unpredictable ways. We strongly recommend starting the variable setting with the NODE variable substitution appropriate for your operating system -- NODE for z/VM, $NODE for unix, %NODE% for Windows -- to avoid any such problems. Please see the examples above.

Default Value

None. This parameter must be set explicitly.
